Now Before you get all mad at me "PAUL! BUT 'PLAYER IN DISTRESS' ISN'T FINISHED AND WHAT ABOUT 'HUMAN AMONG DRAGONS 2!?11'?
Well 'Player in Distress' My Mario fanfic, is on Hiatus because of writers block. I don't know how to continue it without it sounding stupid…FANFIC SOUNDING STUPID? FUCK ME RIGHT?XD
And the Sequel to 'Human Among Dragons', my Spyro Fanfic, will come soon. Not to mention I wanted to continue my Pokémon fanfic also but writers block is a bitch.
And yes I'm using some of the same human characters once more. If you're aware of my previous fanfics you know whom I'm talking about.
Let's start my new story which I should be able to get through.
Spring Break, you would think a college guy like Paul would have more to do during this glory week in the month of March…NOOO.
He was just a guy trying to fit in still. You would've thought that he would've ironed all these social problems out during high school but NOOO….
So Paul was alone this spring break and I was just bored. "I want to go to a place that doesn't cost much, isn't too far and I'm not familiar with." After some consideration he decided on the Los Angeles Zoo. And that my friends is where this story starts.
Paul was walking through the South America segment of the Zoo with his phone and camera just looking at the habitats, exhibits and all that. He went to some of the shops to look for some interesting merchandise but the stuff in there was too expensive. "Why are the stuff in these attraction stores so damn expensive. Don't they make enough money from admissions?" Paul asked himself. Honestly despite the great variety animals they have in this zoo he was not impressed." It's weird, I've never really been here, I love animals. But for some reason.. eh.." Paul said wondering why he seemed so unsatisfied.
Never the less he had spent the whole day there, accomplished nothing and that was a whole day he spent alone looking at animals. He went to the restroom that wasn't far from the area where the Rhinos, and Tigers and Bears (not making that joke nope), and headed out of the exit to his car. It was getting dark and he was about to drive off when he realized something BAD…
"Shit! I left my phone in the bathroom! It's like the most important thing I brought and I left it! How do I do that!?" Paul jumped out of the car and ran to the entrance to find that it was already gated closed and no employees around..SHIT…"I can't leave without it! My Dad will kill me!" He said to himself. He looked around the premises not trying to attract any attention when he noticed one of the janitors left the 'employees only' entrance. "Now's my chance." Paul said and rushed in without any one noticing. "Now where's the restroom I was looking for?" Paul asked himself wandering the zoo while also avoiding the security. "Ah here we are." He found the Tiger exhibit and saw the restroom he had been searching for. He looked inside the stalls and found it. "Hello! My iPhone 6! Let's go home!" Paul was relieved to be holding his phone again and was ready to leave when he saw some security approaching. "oh crud!" Paul said to himself.
"Hey who's there!?" One of them asked shinning a light in my direction obviously trying to find me.
'I need to stay quiet and get out of here.' Paul thought and began running.
"Stop right there!" The guard yelled and chased Paul.
'NO WAY I'M NOT GETTING ARRESTED FOR TRYING TO GET MY PROPERTY BACK! NO!' Paul yelled in his mind. He ran as best as he could but the guards weren't close to being lost. They cornered him in the Treetops Terrace which was usually lit up with lights but was now dark. Paul went deep into the exhibits to try and lose the guards.
"Keep looking he's some where here." The guard said to the other separating looking in the different areas. It took a while but the guards ended up leaving and didn't even come close to finding Paul. "Either that kid gave us the slip or we were just seeing things." One guard said.
"Well if they're in here still, they're gonna have to deal with the day time employees." The other guard said.
'What does he mean by that?' Paul pondered when he heard the entrance to the terrace click. Paul stayed quiet a bit more and approached the large gate. "Dammit locked! And this place is so high up! How am I gonna get out of here?" Paul asked himself looking around and noticing how dark and dreary the Terrace looked. Statues of animals that once looked colorful, bright and cheerful now looked dark, fierce, and a little too real. It didn't help that the animals that were still awake were making a bunch of noises which only made him think he was in lion den or something. Only the den had all the animals of the zoo in it and they were after Paul and Paul alone. "I got my phone back still worth it!" Paul looked at his phone and was filled with more dread. "noo…." The Phone was at 10%. "NO! I only have 10% and I'm probably stuck here the whole night!? Damn! No…I gotta get out of here." Paul said looking around. He looked own the terrace and noticed there was water below. "Do I dare?" Paul asked himself. He looked and saw a stair case that was used by employees.
"I'm sure there's a way out down there." Paul figured and went to the stairs and descended them. A narrow walk away showed before him but because of the now dark environment it was hard to tell where it went. "Better than nothing." Paul asked and went down the path which went to a cave that was originally covered by a waterfall that originated from a river that flowed through the Reptiles section. "Adventure Ho. I guess, as long I can get out of here, get home, and charge my phone I'll be happy." Paul said entering the cave. He used the flash light feature on his phone and went further into cave. The floor was getting wetter and pretty soon Paul was two inches into water. He came up to a fork in the cave. "Who designed this? Wow, I feel sorry for who ever works here. Paul decided to go left. The journey down this cave seemed a lot longer than Paul thought it would and the trail seemed to get thinner as it did. "Is this really part of the zoo? It feels like this is a legit cave that just happened to..WHOA!" Paul slipped and fell down a few feet landing in a body of water. "What the..GAH! What is this? Where am I?" Paul asked treading water as the stream carried him down a river. "Okay! Where am I going?! Am I in the sewers?" Paul asked looking around. "I just wanted to get my phone! Was it really that hard? And crud my phone and camera are probably fried because of the water! Shit! No! Where's the shore, or bank or whatever! Need dry land!" Paul said trying to swim to the sides of the 'river' he was in while he sound of rushing water was becoming louder and louder. "You cant be serious…." Paul said in worry and fear seeing. He was able to make out a night sky above him which clearly meant he was outdoors, and the water was getting louder and faster which could only mean…
"WATERFALL!? IN LA!? What!? SiNCE WHEN!? HELP! ME! HELP!" Paul cried out in fear. "I'M GONNA DIE! NO!" Paul fell down the water fall and through the air landing on a wooden platform that was part of a what was apparently a really large tree. Paul was in shock at the near-death experience he was just in. He was lucky to be on the arguably large branch. "Oh god oh god oh god.. Help me.." Paul shakily got up looking around. 'Wh-where is this?" Paul asked finally on his feet… he walked to what looked to be a street. "In a tree? What?" Paul looked up and saw a security camera hanging from a branch above Paul. It pointed straight at him. "Well clearly I'm in civilization but where are the people and where exactly am I?" Paul remembered his phone and looked at it. Miraculously it seemed unbroken but it would turn on. "Oh please tell me that's because the battery died and not because of water damage." Paul said and went down the street. Looking for any sign of a house or something when he heard the sound of a police siren. "Oh thank god, the police! Hello! Could you please help me?" The car was fast approaching then made a quickly stopped not too far from Paul. "Hey! What are you doing? Trying to run me over?!" Paul said loudly as the doors to the car opened. "Hello? Yes, you see I sorta fell through the water fall and I need to get home like ASAP. Is there a way back too…" Paul's eyes widened when he saw what came out of the car. A grey wolf and a Rhino, both walking on two legs, looking scary as hell and right at him.
The Rhino raised a walkie-talkie and talked into it. "HQ, we got a 1064 on our hooves."
"The rare 'unidentified-species sighting'? Don't hurt it or anything see if it'll come back HQ peacefully. Do not intimidate it." A female voice said on the other end.
"Roger that Deputy Hopps, well do our best." The rhino put away the walkie-talkie and nodded at the wolf.
The wolf then approached Paul holding one of it paws out. "Alright kid, at least I assume you're a kid. If you'd please come with us back to the station and we'll be able to talk some stuff out. We ain't gonna hurt ya unless ya make us." Paul was frozen. What was weirder? How he got there? How there were real life anthropomorphic animals in front of him talking to him, or the fact that he was obviously not in Los Angeles anymore?
"Um…um…ugh..ye-..ugh oh geez." Paul said shivering and walking toward the wolf. 'Just stay calm Paul. You're a furry, theres nothing to be scared of. This is kinda like dream even heh. Yeah a dream. That's it. Just go with the flow.' Paul thought to himself and took the wolf's paw.
"Good, now just get in the back and well be back in Savanna central in no time." The wolf helped Paul and in and the two officers entered the car.
The rhino looked back at Paul. "Alright kid, I'm Officer McHorn and this is my partner Officer Greyson. I'm gonna ask some questions and you do your best to answer them. Can you do that?"
"Um…I-I guess." Paul gulped.
"Good. Just stay calm it's some pretty standard stuff." He flipped a page. "Now what is your name?"
"Paul Davidson."
"Are you a Male or female?"
"Male."
"Your age?"
"20 sir."
"And the million dollar question. What is your species?"
"I'm a human. My species is human."
"Okay..and how do you spell that?" McHorn asked.
Paul was surprised that this rhino didn't know how to even spell the word human.
"You sure you ain't an ape or something Paul. You look a little like one." Greyson joked getting a glare from McHorn.
Paul proceeded to answer McHorn's spelling question. "H-U-M-A-N" Paul said slowly.
"Alright. Well we'll leave the rest of the questions for later. Now let me explain a few things to you, we're just gonna take you to the station downtown and our chief is gonna interrogate you a bit more. There's a few things you gotta learn about our….." Paul could really focus on what McHorn was saying. He was too worried, scarred, and confused to listen or focus.
'What am I gonna do? Why am I here? Where is here?' Paul thought to himself.
"And then that's how our city's ecosystem works. And with that said, welcome to Zootopia." McHorn said. That one sentence registered in Paul's mind clearly.
"Zootopia?" Paul said. 'Well, today turned out pretty upside down.'
And with that Paul started the second day of his Spring Break, in a world of Furries…FUN RIGHT?!
Okay…I don't like how this chapter turned out. I realized that when it comes to writing the beginning of a story it's very difficult. I feel this a little slow but hey I PROMISE TOMMOROW will be faster… Faster than Flash even LOL. I saw Zootopia yesterday and it was AMAZING! YAY!
Anyways, please comment, favorite, follow and all that. I hope you come back for another chapter. Remember, I usually only continue fanfics if people keep coming back to them. Anyways tanks for your time and have a furry day.
See ya'll later.
